BUSINESS NEWS - The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has asked Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) to conduct an urgent public review of the regulations that allow MultiChoice and other subscription broadcasters to carry SABC 1, 2 and 3, free of charge.
The SABC has argued that the regulations have had a serious impact on the broadcaster from a potential revenue point of view.
The industry’s Must Carry Regulations passed in 2008 have ensured that all subscription broadcasters with more than 30 channels carry the three SABC channels for free.
The SABC claims its three channels are among the most watched on DStv.
